COUNTDOWN: A ghastly 1,038 days are still left in this corruption-laden, misadministration’s term in office…

Happy Ides of March, everybody! At last, spring is finally in sight for most of us, and what better time (and in what better presidency) to do a podcast about criminality and deception. For today, our podcaster extraordinaireBurr Deming does just that: he shows us how current Republican conservatives distort the truth and offer inaccurate nonsense to bolster their ridiculous positions on a number of issues. He uses the film Pulp Fiction to help illustrate his all-too-accurate assertion.

COUNTDOWN: 1,042 days still remain in this authoritarian, self-centered misadministration’s term in office…

I watched coverage on student protests yesterday about the one-month anniversary of the horrible Parkland, FL school shootings which claimed 17 innocent lives. I saw one hand-held sign which immediately caused me to melt down into sobs. It read, simply, “GUNS DON’T DIE – KIDS DO!” The starkness and truth of that blunt statement hit me like a sledgehammer.

I am SO PROUD of the kids who went and marched all over the country, and SHAME on the narrow-minded, intolerant administrators who forbade them to do so!!!!! These grassroots student-led walkouts reminded me of a potent lesson I and most of my classmates learned long ago, in our junior year of hifgh school. Due to the childish jealousy of one of the longest-tenured teachers, a young and fairly-new speech teacher was denied tenure near the end of his second year at the school. That meant he would basically be forbidden to teach there the next year. The elder teacher, who had actually written the school song 17 years prior, was a strict authoritarian type who was completely out of touch with the new awareness youth of that age were then experiencing. We were mostly all opposed to the Vietnam War, and were beginning to support causes like environmentalism. We began to see that traditional trivial high school activities like prom dances, and pep fest paled in importance to unjust and immoral things that were happening in the world around us. We wanted to do our part to try and change that outside world as best as we could, and a number of us rose up to do so. The very first Earth Day was held either that spring or the preceding one, and a large number of us took part in it. Both of these teachers taught speech, but the younger one proved to be immensely more popular among the student body than did the elder. He seemed to ease the fears of the more timid students, and gave them a reason to believe in themselves. The word spread, and before long, students were trying to get into HIS class. He also proved to be a bit of a nonconformist, and this aspect was used against him by the elder authoritarian. For example, he gave the students the option to bring their own square piece of carpet, and sit on the floor rather than at assigned wooden and metal desks. Before long, virtually everyone brought in their own piece of carpet and his classroom was adorned with dozens of pieces of different colored carpet.

This was just too much for the stodgy old right-wing Republican authoritarian. He promptly filed a complaint with the school superintendent, embellishing it with lies about how this younger upstart had supposedly allowed one student to set the American flag on fire in the classroom – as I learned later, this is common practice for authoritarians, to use hyperbole and outright lies to bolster their extreme position. At a subsequent school board meeting, the superintendent told this lie, and the conservative school board decided to not renew his contract, which led to an uproar among the student body.

Enrollment at our high school in the spring of 1971 stood at roughly 3,000 students, about 1,000 each for grades 10, 11, and 12. A demonstration was hurriedly organized, and on Friday, Apr. 2, 1971 , the day before Easter vacation (as it was then called) began, an amazing HALF of the student body staged a sit-in in front of the school office and stretching down a long, wide hallway all the way to the high school auditorium! Support for this wronged teacher was widespread and crossed all grades and social barriers: nerdy brains who never misbehaved took part; as did conservative student athletes; as did cheerleaders; as did long-haired “freaks” – all social strata took part! Word of this uprising spread like wildfire – by early afternoon local TV channel news cameras came to film and interview, as did student reporters from the University of Minnesota’s student newspaper. I saw a broadcast of the sit-in on one of the local TV 10:00 PM news programs! The protest was entirely peaceful, with no fights or bloodshed, and various students began singing John Lennon’s “Power to the People” and “Give Peace a Chance” – to which the words were slightly altered to say “All we are saying, is give Fred (the teacher’s first name) a chance!” We had a week off following this tumultuous day, and we wasted little time in trying to garner community support for our cause to renew the teacher’s contract. As one of about 20 members of the hastily-formed sit-in committee, we decided to go door knocking and talking to residents at various shopping centers. Over this break, I and another member heard that then U.S. representative Bill Frenzel (a moderate Republican whose district we were in) was going to have a meet and greet with local Republicans at the community library, a scant distance from the high school. Being politically naive at this point, we knew nothing of what to expect. So in we went. As we approached Frenzel and were attempting to tell him of our sit-in, some sharpie nearby pushed us up real close to Frenzel and then a cameraman from the local small Republican newspaper started snapping pictures. It was clear that neither Frenzel nor any of the assembled group gave even one shit about our cause, and just as hurriedly as we were ushered in, we were ushered away from the representative. We were taken aback by everybody’s obvious disinterest, and we were infuriated a few days later when the photo of us “talking” to Frenzel appeared in this paper beneath a headline which read “FRENZEL TALKS WITH YOUTHS.” We learned a lot that day about the hypocrisy practiced by some politicians, their backers, and certain small, conservative GOP-oriented newspapers! Afterward, we attended a meeting of our local Democratic Party, where we were greeted with interest and concern, plus a few valuable recommendations. I realized right then and there that I could never support a conservative candidate, and so I never have, to this very day! Many of us became lifelong activists as a result, talking to voters, poinding lawn signs, speaking to them on the phone – whatever help was needed.

Long story short, our attempt to save the teacher;s job failed. We were all given a “0” for having missed a day of class, but we did cause many mothers and a few fathers to attend the next school board meeting to demand some answers, but they, too, were scornfully turned away by the stodgy conservative jerks who dominated the board. Still unwilling to give in, we threw our support behind what we believed to be a trusted liberal – a 21 year old, who successfully won a seat on the board only a few weeks later. Much too late, though, we learned that he had been a Republican plant who soon allied himself with the conservatives who dominated the board. We were definitely pissed off at that point, and redoubled our activism in that fall’s election, where we successfully ran and won a state House seat for one of our Democratic women. Soon thereafter, we defeated a many-term House Senate Republican, so at long last, our perseverance was finally rewarded with victory! The lesson I learned from this was that tenacity DOES eventually pay off!

Enough about yesterday, though. What amazes me about our current crop of dedicated activists is their steadfast determination to achieve meaningful gun control, as well as their awareness and savvy use of the media to get their voices heard and to see action being taken. That is why I say “HATS OFF TO THE STUDENT PROTESTERS!”, and I encourage everybody to dump as many gun-loving conservatives as possible in this November’s midterm elections!

COUNTDOWN: Pinch ius, and awaken us from this nightmare – 1,045 days still are left in this misadministration’s term in office…

Hello to all, and happy start of a new week. You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps. Judging from the likes of “senior advisor” Jared Kushner, porn star “Stormy Daniels”, and ex-aide Sam Nunberg, not much good can be said about the character of Presi-dense Donald Chump.

In today’s submission, podcaster magnifique Burr Deming examines the pathetic rants given by Nunberg that appeared on TV networks over the past few days.

Burr says, “The interviews I saw with Nunberg were disturbing. A guy falling apart for a national audience. Later, I heard an analysis of the prospective Kim-Trump meeting.

It would be a little like Nixon going to China, if Nixon was a moron..

As we watched a campaign witness go to pieces on national television, I was reminded of the most pitiful member of French aristocracy ever to face the guillotine.”

COUNTDOWN:It is very unpleasant to have to face the fact that there are still 1,049 unbearably long days yet to go in this dangerously inept and ignorant misadministratipon’s term in office…

Presi-dense Donald Chump has demonstrated increasingly erratic and unstable behavior of late – noreso than ever before, and that is definitely NOT good! He is becoming unbearable hard for his associates to get along with – he is constantly belittling his hand-picked Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, and his chief economic advisor, Gary Cohn, has abruptly resigned due to his disagreement with the tariffs Chump has proposed on steel and aluminum and will likely put in effect very quickly. The fact is that hardly anyone can get along with Chump for very long – especially since Chump refuses to listen to advice from anyone, let alone crexible experts.

An astounding 49 people have either been fired or have resigned from this misadministration, and that has NEVER occurred in a presidency which has just begun its second year! There are rumors that National Security Asvisor H. R. McMasters may soon leave , which would amount to 50!

The sad fact of the matter is that, for all his bullshit and bravado, Chump, the so-called expert, successful businessman, hires horribly unqualified and ill-equipped idiots and then fires them when they fail to perform miracles for him.. Worse yet, he demands complete loyalty from them, even as he undercuts them, public berates them, and embroils both himself and they in contradictions and outright lies. Meanwhile, Russia’s Vladimir Putin claims to have a new nuclear weapon which can hit virtually anywhere in this country and which negates our defenses. Also, while Chump waffles in his bullshit, our country’s roads, bridges, railroads, and airports decay and fall apart. The United States can no longer afford to have Chump, his base, and his party leading Congress – that is why the Chump crowd must be removed from any semblance of political power! Chump is a most unnerving President. He lies constantly, and simply doesn’t care at all for anybody. He obviously views his role as being some sort of omnipotent emperor; one who can rule by edict. This stubborn, spoiled, and simple-ass son of a bitch has got to GO, as soon as possible! Our country is at a dangerous crossroads and we can no longer afford to have this pompous charlatan – spoiled 71 year old little brat – playing at a job he is thoroughly unqualified for and has no business in at all!

COUNTDOWN: How much more can we possibly stand? 1,052 days are still left in this mentally unbalanced, uncaring, and delusional Presi-dense‘s term in office…

Happy first Monday of the month, everybody. We have seen Presi-dense Donald Chump disgustingly showing false bravado in front of TV cameras by saying, were he to be faced with the same circumstances as the deputies were in the recent tragic Parkland, FL school shootings , he would have just gone in the school, unarmed, to stop the shooter. How utterly ludicrous, coming from a coward who once used “bone spurs” in his feet as a way to avoid spending time in the service during the Vietnam War days! Chump can spew all the outright bullshit he wants, knowing that he is perfectly safe right where he is at all times nd will never be called upon to face a deranged murderer anywhdere. In today’s podcast, our master podcaster BurrDeming justifiably mocks Chump’s pseudo-bravery by recalling the real heroism displayed and the true bravery shown by numerous other past presidents who never bothered to posture before rolling cameras.

Burr says,“Few individuals are offered an unexpected opportunity to overcome danger while saving lives. Fewer still discover enough courage hidden within to perform well in the face of danger.

President Trump surprised us with his own demonstration of character.”

COUNTDOWN: Grin and bear it, friends: We will be saddled with this ill-equipped presidency for another 1,056 more days!

Two of the three greatest world powers are led by very insecure but very proud men. Here in the United States, the most incapable and unstable Presi-dense Donald Chump is our titular head of state. In Russia, there sits a very jealous, corrupt, and determined criminal by the name of Vladimir Putin as their President. Both of these men are power-hungry cowards who get great satisfaction out of bullying all who stand in their path. Chump is a naive, gullible political lightweight who is in waaaayyy over his head and who has the tendency to talk too much for his own good. In contrast, Putin is a sly, secretive, constantly-scheming manipulator who has been leading Chump around as though the unsuspecting Chump were tied to his little finger.

Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller , who is conducting an investigation on both Russian interference in the 2016 election as well as attempts by the Chump misadministration to obstruct justice, has been conducting those investigations flawlessly, in secret. He recently indicted 13 Russian nationals and 3 different Russian companies, accusing them of having meddled in the 2016 election. His investigation has exposed that the Russians dumped well over $1 MILLION into this attempt to sway our election. It is almost certain that none of those accused will ever spend a single day testifying in an American courtroom, but the fact that these indictments came down from such a thorough and skilled prosecutor has opened eyes both in The U.S. and Russia. Whereas Chump used to repeatedly call the Russia investigation “a hoax”, the information Mueller has been able to obtain has been so irrefutable that Chump has now changed his tune – sort of. Chump has for a long time asserted that there was “no collusion” between members of his campaign and the Russian government, even though his corrupt son-in-law Jared Kushner has had numerous umreported meetings with the Russian ambassador and others. However, now Chump has een finding the Russians as a convenient scapegoat to blame for interfering in our election. He has put forth a rash of Tweets proclaiming himself having been found innocent of any collusion, rashly and typically overreacting and falsifying the reality of the situation to best serve his needs. Naturally, Mueller has NEVERmade that claim, and only time will tell just how involved or uninvolved Chump and his campaign were with the Russians. Chump has even begin to Tweet about Russian “anti-US” tactics, but has very carefully avoided calling out Putin or his government by name.

Putin was a KGB (secret police) operative since the old days of the Soviet Union and has absolutely no regard for individual political freedoms or democracy in general. He has rigged Russian elections to ensure his long-term success as Russia’s President. Now that he has climbed his way to the very top of the Russian government, his aim is to sow discord among the western democracies so that Russia will eventually emerge as the sole, preeminent world power. True to his old KGB roots, he has managed to succssffully keep both himself and his government out of the limelight, until Mueller unexpectedly and brilliantly exposed them by issuing those indictments. The breadth and scope of Mueller’s indictments has been astounding. They have revealed a very active and deliberate attempt by Russia to sneakily use stolen American personas to infiltrate social media to turn voters away from Hillary Clinton in favor of the bumbling and inept Chump. They detail how Russian operatives were smuggled into our country and did a lot of research in purple states, so that they could most effectively target ads against Clinton. Heavily involved with this was a Russian private company with close ties to Putin called the Internet Research Agency. By successfully switching a scant number of votes away from Clinton and toward Chump in key purple states, they enabled him to capture just enough electoral votes to gain the presidency.

We and our western allies have paid for this dearly ever since!

We were recently warned by National Security Asvisor H.R. McMaster that these Russian attempts to interfere in our elections are still very active, and they will undoubtedly try to influence this fall’s midterms as well as the 2020 presidential election. Chump, of course, lashed out against this National Security Advisor whom HE appointed, and has steadfastly refused to criticize Putin since the day he first entered office. This is raising questions as to possible money-laundering or other corrupt actions dealing with Russia that Chump may be trying to cover-up, and I will deal with that in a future post.

This is a severe dereliction of duty and definitely grounds for impeachment and removal grom office, and provides strong evidence for the collusion which Chump has denied all along!

Yet ANOTHER example of dereliction of duty that is also impeachable is how Chump has refused to institute sanctions against Russia that were passed overwhelmingly by Congress and SIGNED BY HIM months ago – despicably negligent!!!

That is why it is CRUCIAL that we vote out Chump’s CON-servative, Russian-friendly Republican enablers and resoundingly usher in a new, Democratic-controlled House and Senate this fall and beyond! Doing this will repudiate Putin’s attempt to influence our government and will have the added bonus of reining in and weakening the wild and often reckless Chump, and will most likely deny him any chance to be re-elected!

The wily Putin knows he can never defeat us economically or on the battlefield. So he is trying to weaken our position with our western allies by sabotaging as many democratic elections as he can. He attempted, but failed, to circumvent both the Dutch and the French, who caught him red-handed and shut him down, and the Dutch even alerted us. We, too, must shut down this cowardly wannabe weasel who is trying to destabilize our government and wreck our democracy!

COUNTDOWN: There remain a most unpleasant 1,059 days left in this insane Presi-dense‘s term in office…

All of us were shocked at the horrific Valentine’s Day shooting at the Parkland, FL high school, and everyone but the staunchest, most paranoid and ignoran NRA supporter was amazed and very encouraged by the way high school students nationwide have risen up to voice strong opposition to the easy availability of military-style assault weapons on the open market. Of course, the extremely misguided and mistaken Presi-dense Donald Chump had to be noticed by putting in his useless two-cents’ worth opinion about how the solution to this ever-occuring problem is to equip teachers with guns in the classroom (a scenario which the overwhelming majority of sane individuals rejects completely). Chump also predictably had to dredge up another scapegoat to blame for the incident, and this time it was the FBI, for its failure to notify local authorities about the dangerous mental instability of the shooter.

In today’s enlightening podcast, master podcaster Burr Deming reminds us of prior failings of the FBI, and how it overcame them to become the trusted crime-fighting institution it has become today, in spite of Chump’s criticism.

Burr tells us,“There was a reason the FBI did nothing about organized crime before 1957, or about civil rights murders in 1955.

It is the same reason they would have ignored warnings about the coming high school tragedy in Parkland, Florida.

COUNTDOWN: RESIST! There are still 1,064 days remaining in this dangerously inept, ignorant, and insensitive President’s term in office…

Less than ten days ago, the 17 victims of Parkland, FL’s horrible high school shooting spree were all alive, vibrant, and thriving human beings. The teens were most likely preoccupied with passing their next exam, or were thinking about being with their boyfriend or girlfriend after class, while the adults were most likely thinking of their families and children at home which they anticipated seeing again that evening. Today, though, all of them are dead and buried, thanks to yet another deranged, angry young fool who used an AR 15 assault rifle to murder these innocents. He will remain unnamed and forgotten here, as he deserves no special recognition at all. His thoughtless and reckless action may have claimed the life of one who could have one day unlocked the cure for cancer, or ciuld have discovered a way to repair damaged hearts, or the brains of vistims of stroke, or victims of paralysis. But alas, now we shall never know, due to his carelessness and utter stupidity…

I am calling today for an immediate END to private, non-military ownership of ALL military-style assault weapons!

The Second Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the right of all citizens to bear firearms. However, it does NOT guarantee anyone’s right to own military-style weaponry, nor does it guarantee the right to indiscriminately murder innocent civilians! Those who claim that any attempt to regulate or restrict gun ownership of any kind are rabble-rousing LIARS who are needlessly paranoid and who are aiding and abetting future mass killings – PERIOD!

These people need to realize that the mere prohibition of owning such weapons does NOT mean the government is trying to “take away our guns!”

Use your heads, idiots: NO ONE is allowed to own their own nuclear weapons, so why the hell should they be allowed to own these types of deadly assault weapons?! Those who choose to simply dismiss any and all attempts to limit gun ownership by saying “guns don’t kill people – people kill people” are merely trying to duck this core fact: PEOPLE WITH GUNS kill people! It is far too easy for people to procure these unneeded, military-style assault weapons. NO HUNTER ANYWHERE NEEDS AN AR 15 TO KILL HIS PREY – get real! In the state of FL, where these latest shootings occurred, it is easier for a person under the age of 21 to buy and own an AR 15 than it is to buy and own a handgun – that is unforgivable, and must come to a screeching halt!

I, like most Americans, favor the right of people to own and bear rifles and pistols for purposes of hunting, target shooting, and self-defense. However, and also like most of my countrymen, I am in favor of strict registration standards and regulation of these arms to keep them OUT of the hands of publicity-seeking, deranged morons like the 19 year old who murdered 17 people in Parkland, FL! It is a sorry era we live in where gun sales and gun ownership is encouraged and promoted so heavily by groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) and their allies. It is obvious that their interest is no longer primarily in promoting gun safety or the Second Amendment, but is rather to simply sell as many guns and assault weapons as possible, at any and all costs!

I recently saw some of the Parkland students who escaped this massacre delivering their justifiably tearful plea on TV that Congress must act NOW to restrict crazed people from obtaining deadly assault weapons, and I agree with them completely! They are resolutely determined to change our gun owenership legislation on a NATIONAL basis, and I URGE ALL OF YOU TO JOIN US IN THIS VERY WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR!

Presi-DENSE Donald Chump and his wife flew down to Florida on his way again to his Mar-A-Lago golf course, and went to the hospital in nearby Parkland to visit some of the surviving shooting victims. He issued a brief statement about how we must keep these victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers. He didn’t mention anything about guns, however, and so that was not nearly enough! He even arrogantly ignored reporters’ questions about new gun restriction legislation, and that was completelyunforgivable! Yesterday afternoon, though, he told TV reporters that he will shortly sign an executive decree making all bumpstocks illegal…big deal! Much too little, and FAR too late, Chump!

Alyssa, Scott, Martin, Nicholas, Aaron, Alaina, Jaime, Meadow, Chris, Cara, Helena, Luke, Alex, Jaochin, Carmen, Peter, and Gina – your blood has been needlessly spilled and is on the greed-obsessed hands of those who strongly support more and more gun ownership!

Let us begin a new campaign to END the private ownership of all military-style assault weapons – NOW!!!! Let’s put an end to this utter bullshit permanently, shall we?

COUNTDOWN: With a heavy heart, we must relate that a terrible 1,066 days are still left in this chaotic misadministration’s term in office…

Happy Monday to all of you! The steadfast devotion shown by his woefully ignorant base toward Pesi-dense Donald Chump is incredible – until one considers that a solid 24% of voters remained firm supporters of the disgraced late President Richard Nixon when he resigned from office in August of 1974. As Chump continues to misfire and insult people each and every day, he predictably picks on immigrants to be his scapegoats. So too do moronic Chump supporters over at the ever-lying Republican propaganda outlet known as Fox “News.” Were it not for heavily mistaken and biased reporters like Tucker Carlson, Steve Doucy, and Sean Hannity, old man Chump would seem to have no friends at all in the media. These Fox personalities are all paranoid and lean anti-immigrant and nativist, of course, that is why they constantly report favorably about Chump.

As Burr points out in this revealing podcast, Fox nearly always preys on people’s fears and even embellishes their “reports” with suppositions rather than facts. Their aim is to dazzle their viewers with speculation and opinion rather than accuracy. In today’s effort, our podcaster extraordinaire Burr Deming recalls an incident from his younger days which illustrates how some people (as well as many of today’s Fox viewers and Chump devotees) will jump to their own wrong conclusoims without ever bothering to properly investigate before making up their minds.

Burr tells us, “It is especially tragic when someone who accepts danger in order to protect the rest of us, a law enforcement officer, is killed.

COUNTDOWN: There are still 1,069 very long days left in this disgusting and uncaring misadministration’s term in office…

Recent events have shown how little regard this Presi-dense Donald Chump’s load of misguided bandits in Washington truly have for American voters. They are rotten to their very core. Let’s examine a few of their key components of this bloc over the past year:

1). Chief of Staff John Kelly – this former highly respected four star general has proven himself to be almost as politically inept as Chump himself. From his lying criticism of Rep. Frederica Wilson some months back to his staunch defense and next-day rollback of support for disgraced and now resigned wife-beater Rob Porter, this guy has apparently sacrificed all decency he may have once had to hitch onto Chump’s decrepit bandwagon. His characterization of DACA immigrants as “lazy asses” was despicable!

2). Former White House aide Rob Porter – this little cowardly weasel has beaten and/or verbally assaulted not one, but two different wives. Because of this, he was forced to not only resign his White House post, but had previously been denied a very important security clearance due to an FBI investigation. Regardless, he had been privy to a huge number of top secret documents prepared for Chump. Now this scoundrel is reportedly dating a member of Chump’s staff, public relations director Dope Hicks.

3). Dope Hicks – this admittedly gorgeous, but highly midguided 29 year old little fool has been dating the aboveuentioned wife-beater, and has been serving as Chump’s public relations director. She was even instrumental in writing up a memo full of praise for wife-beater Porter which Kelly delivered right as the Porter scandal became known. Most disturbing of all, this little hussy even dated former campaign manager Corey Lewandowsky – while he was still married! What a screwed-up woman she is!

4). Sarah Huckster Slanders has been serving Chump as his press secretary. In this capacity, she has echoed literally hundreds of Chump’s lies to reporters over the past year. She certainly has next to no regard for our free press, and obviously looks at reporters with disdain. This little hypocrite is known to have held devotionals and prayer sessions before each press briefing, and then would go out and brazenly lie on behalf of Chump. This is one extremely misguided little pouty creep!

5). White House senior advisor Jared Kushner – still wet behind the ears, this 32 year old conniver has wandered along with Chump like an obedient puppy dog, following in the Chump mold of attempting to use his government position to leverage favorable business dealings for the real estate firm his daddy gave to him. Regrettably, he has been given everything in his life thus far, and therefore cannot possibly understand the very real struggles most Americans now face! Even worse, he has also been denied a top security clearance but, with Chump’s blessing, has helped himself to hundreds of top-secret documents during his tenure. What the hell gives? Worse yet, how could this inexperienced young puppy ever give any worthwhile advice to anyone?

6). Stephen Miller – this scumbag was once a press secretary for the insane, way-far-right congresswoman Michele Bachmann – need I say more? Then he worked for a time for Attorney General Jeff Sessions when he was still a Senator, before moving into his current position as Chump’s political advisor. With his anti-immigrant, nativist views, it is little wonder that the “advice” he has given Chump has been basically worthless – and explains why Chump has consistently had such rock-bottom, record low approval ratings!

7). Treasury Secretary Steve Minuchin – not only did this far-right jerk put together the recently passed (solely by Repunlicans) etax scam giveaway which greatly benefitted wealthy billionaires, but he also had the audacity to drag his new wife to pose with him in front of a sheet of newly-printed $1 bills which bear his signature on them. Short-sighted and incredibly vain, to be sure, but typical in this era of Chump!

8). Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price took numerous charterted, private flights at taxpayer expense, during times where plenty of commercial flights were available. He spent at least $400,000 on domestic flights, plus another $500,000 on international flights. Now THAT’s good, old-fashioned CON-servative Republican fiscal conservatism in action, isn’t it?

9). Last, but definitely not least, is Presi-dunce Donald Chump himself. He is an extreme narcissist and a spoiled little brat besides. He was given $1 MILLION by his daddy at the very start of his career, and has bullied his way through life ever since. He is willfully ignorant and overbearing to the point where he has even publicly defended pedophiles like failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, sexual abusers like the late Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, and wife-beater Rob Porter. He has also had a great many women accuse him of unwanted sexual advances. Funny how this oaf has never learned to self-discipline himself, almost always defends and believes men who are accused of sexual abuse rather than their credible women accusers, and hasrepeatedly plunged ahead for anything he wants! He is ignoring all the evidence about how Russia tampered with our 2016 election, and has ignored solid evidence that they will do so again this year. He has called Russia’s Vladimir Putin at least 8 or 9 times this past year, and has neglected to notify our media about it – we had to learn from Russian media about the calls! That is absolutely ridiculous, and pours gas on the flame of collusion with Russia, which he vehemently denies. His grasp of detail is tremendously sketchy, and he runs his administration exactly like one would expect from a person who has declared bankruptcy numerous times. His ego is as oversized as his belly, and will never be satisfied fully. THIS is a very sick individual!!!

Our country must NEVER again elect a man like Chump to ANY office!

Each of these examples are offensive to most hard-working Americans, and the Republican Party has almost zero regard for our concept of government for, by, and of the people. Each of these morons obviously believes that government exists primarily for them to reap profit from, and that is why they have behaved like they have, as though they were somehow privileged or entitled to special perks. These CON-servative Republicans are as phony as a Dan Quayle three dollar bill, and that is why it is CRUCIAL that they be replaced by progressive, Democratic candidates in this fall’s elections! The Republicans have been conning us with their pro-corporate, anti-working people policies for decades now, and it is time for us voters to retire them all and send Chump an undeniably clear message in November!
